“…The reversal potential of [Tyr 10 ]N/OFQ(1-11)-induced current was −92.4 ± 1.8 mV (n = 40), which corresponds to the equilibrium potential of potassium ions (− 91 mV) according to the Nernst equation. Therefore, in vlPAG neurons, [Tyr 10 ]N/OFQ(1-11), like N/OFQ (Liao et al, 2011a(Liao et al, , 2011b, activated IRK channels which are coupled to Gprotein (Ikeda et al, 1997).…”
